Walking El Caminito del Rey is an experience that stays with you—the narrow paths, the sheer cliffs, and the views across the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes are unforgettable. But after (or even before) the hike, trust me, you’ll want something good to eat. Over the years, I’ve eaten my way around the restaurants and bars near the trail and enjoyed everything from hearty local dishes to inventive twists on Andalusian classics, there’s certainly plenty to choose from!
Here are the places I’ve actually tried and loved—each one for different reasons.
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain. My articles contain affiliate links that will help you reserve a hotel, bus, train or activity in the area. You don’t pay more, but by using them you do support this website. Thankyou!
